Year 2 visit Wicken Fen

11 May 2012

Year 2 had lots of watery fun at Wicken Fen last week! Despite the recent run of bad weather, the children enjoyed hunting for minibeasts and studying them up close with magnifying glasses. They even donned special bug spectacles to experience what it is like hunting for food and avoiding predators with the eyesight of a dragonfly. The children all had great fun pond dipping and were amazed at the number of species of creatures that they discovered. The afternoon was then spent in the art room where the children took inpsiration from the minibeasts they had encountered and created some superb clay models.
